Your Advocate for Maximum Timber Value
As your consulting forester, I represent your interests—not the logging companies'. Get the expertise that ensures you receive top dollar for your timber.
What Is a Consulting Forester?
Think of me as a real estate agent for your trees. Just as you wouldn't sell your house without professional representation, you shouldn't sell your timber without an expert on your side.
I don't buy your timber—I represent you in getting the best possible price for it. Through competitive bidding among qualified logging companies, I ensure you receive fair market value while protecting your property from damage.
Landowners who work with a consulting forester typically receive 20-40% more than those who sell directly to logging companies.
